We heard briefly from Dallin last night. His companion has been gone to the outer island Fanning for the last week. A barge goes out to take supplies every 3 months and the missionaries go to visit the branch. Dallin was excited that the boat was back 4 days early and glad to be back with Elder Sion.
The work has been rough this last week and he and his temporary companion have been trying to work all 3 areas while they wait for Elder Openshaw and Elder Bettencourt to arrive. He had a heart-wrenching story where a new investigator got upset and started drinking again, but they were able to keep many of their people moving in the right direction.
He thinks he will be transferred in the next 2 weeks with Sion to somewhere new, but no details yet. He didn't have much time, but seems to be in good spirits and healthy. Small world... Elder Openshaw actually went to Timpview High School and knows Dallin's friend Kalani! We are anxious to hear where he will be transferred and what his next adventure will be!
Yay for unscheduled boat returns! Yay for small worlds! Yay for new adventures!
ReplyDeleteYeah for all the things that Beth said! We LOVE Elder Seguine!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting to hear all the news. And the world is absolutely small in the gospel.
